1.-THE Methodists believe" writes a
correspondent of the New York Tri-
b,tne, ''that not one of the human race
will be damned because Adam sinned.
but only for rejecting the means of sal
walton within his reach; and that no
heather will perish for not believing in
Saviour of whom he has never heard,
but only for not improving the light
and privileges with which he is sur
rounded" This suggests the enquiry,
does this writer believe that "the light
and privilege" of those heather who
have never heard of Christ are suffi-
cient for their salvation 2 If so, why
the necessity of carrying to them the
gospel If not, will such be eternally
damned for the insufficiency of their
privileges ? We should like to know
exactly where the Methodist church
stands on this question of the damna-
tion of the heather. at present many
are in doubt on the matter. This
writer does not clear up the problem.
The point is, have the heather, who are
outside of the missionary line, and who
have never heard of Christ, that degree
of light and knowledge which, if reject
ed, or not improved" will warrant a
just God in eonsigning them to eter-
nal damnation ? Or shall all such have
another probation in the future exis-
tence to make up for their want of
Eight and privilege" here ? 1t seems
as if Methodists might understand these
questions, and give a definite answer
either way.

THOSE home missionary parishes
How they could be strengthened if our
church had a Home Missionary Fund
to use occasionally in their behalf. We
will have the Fund some time. May
the good Lord hasten the day when our
wealthy Universalists will endow such
a Fund, and thus serve the interests of
many strugg ling parishes and faithful
pastors.

NOTES ON OPEN LETTERS.

In forwarding the obituary of sister
who recently departed this life, strong
in the faith of Universalism, Canada
correspondent gives us specimen of
ministerial bigotry. He says:
''rhe Methodist minister, who is a near
neighbor, has been considerably annoyed by
the fact that one SO generally beloved and
respected, and who could so triumphantly
meet the trial hour of death, should believe
IN Universalism, and would have been glad to
have the church closed against the funeral
services, as is judged by his declaring that it
was contrary to the Discipline to have Uni
versallsm preached in the house; but better
and more Christian spirit prevailed, and the
house was freely offered for the occasion;
the minister, however, found that he was
needed in distant part of his parish at the
time of the funeral, and consequently was
not present"
= The above shows that the old adage,
'like priest, like people," does not in
variably hold good. These good Meth

OHIO is to have grand Centennial

is not the Exposition idea growing
rather stale? Can not Ohio invent

"A SPECIAL to the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, Jan. 20, from Yankton, D. T., gives
some particulars of the troubles growing
out Of the Andover controversy in Yank-
ton College, to which we called attention
last week. The dispatch saws:
The Yankton College, an institution
connected with the Congregational church
here, and in which the discussion of the
Andover doctrine is SO fierce, was found
ed as State institution, intended to sup
ply the wants of the Congregationalists
throughout the territory. Students be.
longing to other denominations are glad
ly received, but it was established more
especially to supply the Congregational
demand. It occupies beautiful plat of
ground, and the building is of Sioux Falls
stone, with elegant interior finish. The
split is 30 pronounced and divergence SO
radical that the controversy will be con-
tinued, and serious damage will be
brought to the Yankton Congregational
church thereby-and as for the college
there is reason to fear that the wrangle
may close it altogether.

THE RUTLAND ROAD.
statement that IA Branch VIII he Built
from Rutland to Woodstock.

The Springfield RcpubiicuH says edi-
tUrlal!y of the Rutland deal and the plans
OF its promoters at is given out that
the Delaware and Hudson Canal com
pauy which has bought the Rutland rail
road, will begin to build line next
spring from Rutland to Woodstock, con.
Meeting at the latter place with the branch
road to White River junction. Such Il
connection has already been surveyed sew
eral times, and the distance is only about
20 miles. This would bring the Delaware
and Hudson company into direct connec-
ton with the Northern railroad, and
would be a most important flank move
ment against the Central Vermont. This
serves to make the rumor credible. 1t
also shows into what corner Gov
Smith S road is being driven. To be sure,
the latter would still have southern
outlet down the river from the junction,
but all this while its great rival in Yer
mont controlling the coal supply and
marble traffic, would run down into the
Connecticut valley at two points, Bello :
Falls and White River Junction, cross the
river and run on to Boston and the coast
by the Cheshire and Northern roads
Another thing that possibly gives Gre
dence to the rumor is the fact that Fred
erick Billings of Woodstock, VINO is chief
owner of the road to that town, is direc-
tor in the Delaware and Hudson company.
His Woodstock road is, of course, well
bottled up now, and Rutland conuec-
ton with possibilities of through coal
and marble traffic would be big thing
for the little branch. The sale of the Rut-
land will begin a new era in the railroad
history of the State. It means speedy
deliverance from what have all
along seemed the unjust eXactions in
the way of rates and accommoda-
tions by the Central Vermont monopoly
it means the deliYerance of the State
from the ring that has so largely controlled
affairs up there; it signals the entrance
into the railroad business of the State on
an extensive scale of a great corporation
able and willing to afford better accom-
modatious and lower fares. If, as is pos
siple, the Boston and Maine system alb
serbs the Central Vermont proper, thus
dividing up the traffic in the State between
two rich corporations, 1t would be doubt
less the best thing that could happen for
the advancement of the material interests
of Vermont
